Well WKC does seem to show that PS3 can't sell JRPGs in japan.

Of course... the 360 can't either.

So really. It doesn't invalidate the PS3 argument.

WKC sold low for it's budget... so it'll need America and Europe to rally for it.

There is a reason why basically every RPG series not Final Fantasy was a low budget affair on the PS2.

The problem is... HD consoles don't allow for low budget affairs.  Meaning the HD systems basically NEED blockbusters.

overexaggerate much?

 

If anything he was holding back. He could have brought up how this game will have no legs, how it's not going to change anything, how it's 2nd party so no one is really going to care, etc.

The HD consoles are incapable of selling anything but big budget games in Japan, they simply aren't healthy markets for anyone that doesn't have the money to spend on games like that, and extremely hostle towards developers and genres that are completely dependent on Japan's sales.
